I ran my MAC 45 in my Speedmaster mono this weekend and I've got to say it was awsome. It easily pulled the same prop I was running (cut 455/3 @ 3.4) with the Picco and had great throttle response.
Anyone looking for a good Picco replacement can find it in the new MAC.

Last I heard, Chris wasn't planning on selling them. You may want to check with Bill McGraw.
Here is a shot of mine.
